3. The combination with a wall separating two trading rooms formed by. two wall members, of a screen disposed in the upper portion of each wall member facing into one of said rooms, there being a space formed-between the lower portions of said wall members for a ticker and two projecting mechanisms, a horizontal light aperture for one of said projecting mechanisms, a vertical light aperture for the other of said projecting mechanisms, means for drawing the tape successively across said light apertures in a direction parallel to said wall members, said drawing means being also disposed between the lower portions of said wall members, a fixed mirror housing disposed adjacent to'one of said screens having one fixed mirror therein to receive the images formed at said vertical light aperture and deflect them onto its screen, and a second fixed mirror housing disposed adjacent to the other of said screens and having two fixed mirrors therein to receivethe images formed at said horizontal light aperture and direct them onto said other screen, the projecting mechanism for the horizontal light aperture being disposed to one side of the tape,

the other projecting mechanism being disposed to the other side of the tape, the ticker being spaced from both of said projecting mechanisms and disposed in advance of the entrance end of the horizontal light aperture, and the tape drawing means being spaced from and disposed beyond the discharge end of the vertical light aperture.

4. The combination with a wall structure having two screens facing into diflerent inspection areas, of a single ticker for printing records on a tape disposed below said screens, a housing having a horizontally extending light aperture and a vetrically extending light aperture, means for pulling the tape as it is printed successively across said light apertures, two lamps, one to either side of said housing, a mirror for receiving a beam of light from one of said lamps and directing it upwardly through said horizontally extending light aperture to the portion or the tape there disposed, a second mirror for receiving a beam of light from the other of said lamps and directing it laterally through said vertically extending light aperture to the portion of the tape there disposed, and reflecting means for each of said screens, one of said latter reflecting means for directingionto one of said screens the image impressed beam from the tape portion disposed at the horizontally extending light aperture and the other of said reflecting means for directing onto the other of said screens the image impressed beam from the tape portion disposed at the vertically disposed light aperture.

- being a space formed between the lower portions of said wall members for a ticker and two projecting mechanisms, a horizontal light aperture for one of said projecting mechanisms, a vertical light aperture for the other of said projecting mechanisms, meansfor drawing the tape .successively across said light apertures in a direction parallel to said wall members, said drawing means being also disposed between the lower portions of said wall members, and reflecting means for receiving the images formed at said horizontal light aperture and directing them to one of said screens and for receiving the images formed at said vertical light aperture and directing them to the other of said screens, the projecting mechanism for the horizontal light aperture being disposed to one side of the tape, the other projecting mechanism being disposed to the other side of the tape, the ticker being spaced from both of said projecting mechanisms and disposed in advance of the entrance end of the horizontal light aperture, and the tape drawing means being spaced from and disposed beyond the discharge end of the vertical light aperture.

6. The combination with a wall separating two trading rooms formed by two wall members, of a screen disposed in the upper portion of each wall member facing into one of said rooms, there being a space formed between the lower portions of said wall members for a ticker and two projecting mechanisms, a light aperture for each of said projecting mechanisms, means for drawing the tape successively across said light apertures in a direction parallel to said wall members, said drawing means being also disposed between the lower portions of said wall members, and reflecting means for each light aperture for receiving the images formed by such light aperture and directing them onto one of said screens, the projecting mechanisms being disposed on opposite sides of the light apertures, the ticker being spaced from both of said projecting mechanisms and disposed in advance of the entrance end of the first of said light apertures, and the tape drawing means being spaced from said projecting mechanisms and disposed beyond the discharge end of the second of said light apertures.

'7. The combination with a wall separating two inspection areas, said wall structure having two screens, each screen facing into one'o! said inspection areas, of a single ticker for printing records on a tape disposed below said screens, two projecting mechanisms, a light aperture for each of said projecting mechanisms, means for drawing the tape successively across said light apertures, and reflecting means for each light aperture for receiving the images formed by such light aperture and directing them onto one of said screens, the projecting mechanisms being disposed on opposite sides of the light apertures, the ticker being spaced from both of said projecting mechanisms and disposed in advance of the entrance end of the first of said light apertures, and the tape drawing means being spaced from said projecting mechanisms and being disposed beyond the discharge end of the sec-
